I, like everyone else, have fallen in love Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps and dies. I have chosen to make them my daughter's senior year mascots. Today was her last 1st day of school...a thought that made her Mom a little melancholy :(
So to brighten up the day, I made her and my "stepdaughter" tags to kick off the new year starring the Bird Crazy gang.
I made the background using Sunshine Yellow and Botanical Alcohol Inks to make a splatter effect as described in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities Vol I on page 52. I 'll bet you can't guess my daughter's school colors ;) I stamped a school bus and ruler as well as members of the Bird Crazy family in Jet Black Archival Ink. I also stamped the date using a date stamper. I used springs to make the bird's eyes pop...
I finished off the tags by mounting the glossy cardstock on black cardstock and tying a bow from black/white striped paper string. My husband and I added a note on the back with wishes for a great day! I wish to enter my tags in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Back to School,
